I committed myself to finishing the three small posts that make up a garden sculpture. As you can see from the photo above I achieved my goal - yippee.
During the week I had sanded and oiled the posts (rough sawn 100mm square hardwood). The height of the posts are: 650m, 700mm and 800mm - a bit of difference to give the trio a little movement so to speak.
Before attaching the etched plates they needed to be polished with a steel wire wheel. Each post has 5 etched 2mm thick aluminium plates - the top plate is 9cmX9cm and four side plates are 9cmX20cm. The plates are attached to the timber with copper nails.
A few photos of the finished posts in a couple of different settings.
This trio of posts will be part of our open studio on 13 March.
it's amazing to me that you work at such different scales ... from fine small jewelry to massive sculptural forms ... and with such a wide range of materials
